yeah okay I'm just going to post this [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J4JsjBza24]Coldplay marriage proposal - Newcastle December 20, 2010 - YouTube[/ame]

omg haven't heard that word in so long Yeah, what if some student's "interest" was pulling the wings off flies? Would this family support that kind of action-shot photo being in a yearbook?

I don't think is particularly "newsworthy", and really all I'm looking for is people's opinions anyway (i.e., Lounge-worthy). During my senior year, we could also submit professional photographer photos for the yearbook (which I think everyone did). However, the photos for the yearbook had to be "head shots", showing only your head and shoulders. So these photos wouldn't have even been eligible for submission to the yearbook anyway. What are/were the rules for submitting senior photos for your yearbook? I'm just curious if anyone else would run into this issue. Oh, and LOLOLOL that the father is defending her from the perspective of thinking it's wrong that the students can't express their "interests". And what, pray tell, are your daughter's "interests" as depicted by her photos?

Senior's photo deemed too sexy for yearbook DENVER (CNN) - A high school senior's racy picture is causing controversy after the yearbook staff refused to publish it, calling the picture inappropriate. The photo shows 18-year-old Sydney Spies in a short skirt and revealing top. She had it taken by a professional photographer in her hometown of Durango, Colorado, and submitted it to the yearbook with her mother's approval. "She tells me that she has grown tired of seeing all the boring pictures submitted, and she wanted to do something different," said Sydney's mother, Miki Spies. Seniors at Durango High School can submit their own photos to the yearbook. They often choose pictures that reflect their interests, like sports or music. A committee of five students determines whether the photos are acceptable. They rejected Spies' photo, calling it inappropriate. A second photo, this one showing her in a short dress against a brick wall, was also rejected. "There's something wrong when people can't express themselves in their own yearbook," Miki Spies said. The Durango School District says it wasn't part of the process, but it supports the decision of the yearbook committee. According to spokeswoman Marty Kay Hutton, "The student editors of Durango High School's yearbook informed a senior student in December that her photo in question would not be included as a senior portrait in the yearbook and asked her to submit a replacement. Durango School District administration supports this decision." Miki Spies says her daughter should be able to express herself, just like any other student. "There are no standards that are required for yearbook photos. She's into the arts outside of school," Miki Spies said. The photos have outraged many as the story has spread. On a Facebook page set up by the family, some of the comments are extremely negative: "Too sexy for a young woman. Think of how you will be remembered for the rest of your life, in the eyes of your classmates." "You are gross and your parents are losers like you are." "Tramp." Miki Spies says that she is surprised by the comments but that they have strengthened her resolve to fight for her daughter. She's not sure what they will do next but says she has contacted the ACLU for help. "I'm a fighter for the underdog, and I hate the abuse of authority," she said. "I'm surprised more Americans aren't on the side on freedom of expression anymore." http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/local_news/water_cooler/seniors-photo-deemed-too-sexy-for-yearbook

^ ya I think so too

that picture was taken a long time ago (during AROBTTH era, I think... maybe X&Y)

THEY'RE PLAYING IN SEATTLE IN APRIL. YOU MUST GO, YOU LIVE SO CLOSE! So now there's three weeks open on their tour calendar in the last half of March / early April, all of May, and most of June. I really hope they throw in some East / Midwest dates. I was thinking this morning how curious it is that they are so anti-headliner at Glasto, yet they don't diss headlining Coachella. What's up with that? It's not very consistent. Either be hipster or don't.

yeah but if I'm understanding it correctly, the second weekend is simply a carbon copy of the first edit: now you beat me to it, nice payback

Well, 2 weekends. / getting technical I suppose it's kind of like a split-up Glasto.

Wow, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg as Day 3 headliner? I told that to my hubby and he was like :bomb:. So I said, "hey, you wanna go?" Dont' think that would actually happen though, I don't think he can get that time off of work. So, this is a 2-weekend festival, and it's the exact same lineup both weekends? Just want to make sure I'm understanding that correctly. I see FlyLo and Modeselektor are there too. *please everyone have a pow-wow and make plans to go to DEMF together at the end of May pleeeease*

I hope so. Really I do. Yes, the Saints beat us (Lions), but I really want Jim Harbaugh to sit at home for the remainder of the playoffs.

:bomb: omg so happy for you Eddie if it's really true; and if it's been since 1998 that they've played in NZ, maybe there's hope for me and other Detroiters too that they'll come back here (been since mid-90s).

Although I didn't read the story on atease, I think they are. Haven't listened to them yet though.

I saw this on the news, but I guess I didn't realize that is was 11 people that died. Very sad. I went on a hot air balloon ride once... it is something that is in the back of your mind, but you don't want to think that it would actually happen.

PARTY IN THE USA

^ You have yet to experience a proper winter, don't you Rudy?

^ okay I suppose they just posted a Taiwan date in the Tour Dates, end of July *sigh*

same here :dazzled:

"Just announced", after the presale starts? mmmkay edit: Oh wait, actually it was like a half-hour notice. :| still...

1 more day until the Lions play the Saints... as long as we don't have the atrocious amount of stupid "selfish" penalties like we did last time, I think we've got a good chance!

^ I really hope they change that for the second leg of the tour. Not for the amphitheaters of course (I like those), but the arenas need GA. It's silly.

It's going to get up to 10C today... when is it going to be winter?!? I should have had a slippery drive to work long before now.

just wait a couple of weeks

my opinion: Stuck Together is meh. Twist makes me feel like I'm having a seizure, I feel the need to take my meds. However, if you remove most of the vocals, it's actually pretty good.
